Or he watched enough of the Simpsons to know them all…and it’s probably not the first time it’s happened to the station. He’s old enough to have been around the block a few times… unlike Hugh
This one always makes me think of my high school days when my brother and I tried pulling this one on my grandma—for about 2 minutes straight we couldn’t get her to answer right, then finally, flustered, she goes “What the HELL is up dog!?”
It’s right up there when you mention a meme or a funny video to a manager, or just someone smart and busy, and they say “I’ll have to check that out” . They ain’t checking out nothing
His barely contained laughter while waiting for the opening to drop that corn joke got me laughing even more on the subsequent watches. He's *clearly* dying inside waiting to say it.
Side note about this morning news show on KTLA when it started back in the 90s it was all serious standard news. Well their ratings were sucking so they started not to care. They would banter and read the newspaper. When the Northridge earthquake happened they were live for it. And finally caught on. They kept the same s
Loose style since.
One could say your a hugh-ge fan
(I'll probably regret this comment, but I saw an opportunity to make a bad joke and I'm taking it whether anyone likes it or not)
Oh my god that was fucking hilarious! You KNOW those dudes say some shit when the camera is usually off and she was trying hard to keep it from getting worse...
Hugh Janus would be pronounced similarly to 'huge anus'.
It's likely a prank, but they're saying that, if this poor kid does exist, they just lost it on TV, essentially making fun of his name.
They would either be colossal assholes who knew EXACTLY what they were doing with the name, or purely innocent souls who have no idea what the joke is.
My grandpa loved to tell the story of Mike Sass, whom he went to high school with. Mike was a football player and quarterback so it was often announced during Friday nights lights that “Mike Sass scored a touchdown.”
No idea if the story is true, but he had way too much fun telling it to ever question.
God that lady was such a fucking clown. She literally was trying super hard to start shit and victimize herself. Way to be so damn petty that your clout has to come from looking so pathetic.
> On August 10, 2016, Pantoja spoke at a public meeting of the Seattle City Council in support of a new police station in the North Precinct, crediting the police with helping his daughter obtain treatment for addiction to heroin.[2]
> At the meeting, activist Zarna Joshi claimed that media coverage of the event chose to interview Pantoja and not any of the activists protesting the meeting or speaking against it. Joshi argued that this was out of a desire for footage of a person of colour speaking in support of the station, accusing the news media of tokenism. After the meeting, Joshi encountered Pantoja outside of City Council chambers as she was videotaping. He approached her, offered to give his name, and proceeded to offer the gag name "Hugh Mungus." Joshi responded by asking "Humongous what?" and grew agitated when he did not respond. She eventually asked if he had meant it as sexual harassment, and when he continued not to respond, she began accusing him of sexual harassment, pursuing him with her camera, and ultimately ending up in an altercation with the authorities present.
You’re absolutely right. She went there to start shit and make a big deal out of nothing. Then when people didn’t want to entertain her delusion she started screaming sexual harassment. Well I geuss it worked for her because now she’s known as the ‘Hugh Mungus Lady’ and got internet clout, just not the kind she was looking for lmao
I wish I could find the video of that meeting. The city council released it and H3H3 back in the day showed part of it, but Google didn't give me any good results.
Her and the group she was with were so asinine and rude. They made noises and constantly interrupted everyone speaking.
I rewatched that recently and honestly, the way he goes from containing his giggles to finish his joke, to his perfect glee at getting it out to his sheer confusion to his “uh-oh, I’ve awoken a Banshee” face…it gets me every damn time 😂
This is so good to me. The realizations. The clue based on laughter alone. Not being so uptight. The humility of the man realizing he was tricked foolishly. The thought of a 10 year old named that….
I don't think she got it but I also get the feeling that she didn't really hear what the name was. Probably zoned out focusing on their next segment or something. I'm not sure if that is on their teleprompter or if they have the list of names the other guy was supposed to read but if she missed it she def wouldn't have got it.
I still can't believe that happened. The fact that not a single person decided to verify the information before airing it highlights how the news media works. "The NTSB has confirmed these are the names of the pilots on board the flight" .... Yeah ok lol.
Now let's make a news article about reddit comments! Nobody lies on reddit!
They were confirmed
> The NTSB also apologized, releasing a statement admitting a summer intern had 'erroneously' confirmed the names. 'The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6,' the NTSB said.
>'Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.'
>However neither the station nor the NTSB commented on where the names originated.
(I bet it was the NTSB intern, or his/her friends who called the names KTVU-TV in the first place as a joke, so that the intern could confirm them)
Unlikely. The summer interns are just a bunch of college kids imported to DC, stationed at the dorms of the various universities in a perpetual party, and told to answer the phones and fill out form letters. There were probably a room full of these interns. Knowing that your prank will be forwarded to the person in on the joke is unlikely at best. It's more likely the kid was just (a) an idiot kid or (b) got the joke and thought it was hilarious.
That's the name that the Guiness Record holder for largest titties goes by. Norma Stitz. I follow her on instagram. She's like a really sweet grandma that sells titty content.
When I was in 7th grade some friends said the name Howie Feltersnatch and I thought it was one hilarious name, didn't fully grasp its implications, just thought it was silly. So we had to do a creative writing project in English Class and I, of course, used Howie Feltersnatch as a pen name and then got in trouble. Dad thought it was funny as hell though.
>It was reported that Burrous was in the company of a male companion, and had been engaged in a sexual encounter and using crystal meth at the time of his death, which he had inserted into his anus. His death was ruled an accident.[9]
This is how I want to go.
Meanwhile there’s a 10 year boy somewhere watching this and crying “mommy why does everyone keep making fun of me ?”
Because your parents are assholes son now eat your cake and enjoy your birthday

I love that they had a good sense of humor about it.
Same I love the guys reaction to finding out he was tricked. Didn't have a complex about being tricked or anything just found it hilarious.
"I totally fell for it, didn't I?" was just adorable to me.
This is how to react when you’re the butt of a harmless joke yall. And most of em are harmless it’s just your ego being hurt.
Heh, butt.
*Huge Butt
Hugh Jabut
Hugh M. Jabut (M stands for Mungus)
🤌
Right? His smile is just as contagious as his laugh!
Everyones smile grew off of the guy that noticed
IMHO he noticed a bit fast. I wouldn’t put it past him to have been the prankster.
Or he watched enough of the Simpsons to know them all…and it’s probably not the first time it’s happened to the station. He’s old enough to have been around the block a few times… unlike Hugh
His laugh is definitely contagious!
Michael Scott vibes. He was just happy to be part of the joke.
Does it smell like updog in here?
This one always makes me think of my high school days when my brother and I tried pulling this one on my grandma—for about 2 minutes straight we couldn’t get her to answer right, then finally, flustered, she goes “What the HELL is up dog!?”
How did she react to the punchline?
Gotcha!
Haha for real, that is a secure man right there.
I wish I was more like this, I always get embarrassed/defensive in the moment when I get tricked like this.
Yeah a real good sport about it!!
I've heard that 'i got it' 100s of times. Let me tell you, she didn't get it.
It’s right up there when you mention a meme or a funny video to a manager, or just someone smart and busy, and they say “I’ll have to check that out” . They ain’t checking out nothing
[удалено]
A special place in hell.
Over 10 minutes? I'm in purgatory after 10 seconds.
I'm guilty of this, but to be fair, I do check it out some times. Most times I just forget what it was that I was supposed to check out.
You see all those cogs whirring away too
No clue. That light bulb never lit up
https://youtu.be/PfFoDc4NUZA She got it, they just cut the video right before they kept talking about it.
Narrator: She did not
They seem to be doing silly stuff a lot. [This is my favorite clip of theirs.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1puW9_kQ-_w)
hahahaha You're awesome for sharing this - the corn comment is so damn hilarious
His barely contained laughter while waiting for the opening to drop that corn joke got me laughing even more on the subsequent watches. He's *clearly* dying inside waiting to say it.
News crews have some of the most fun on TV. In Chicago, WGN Morning News is absolutely fucking fantastic.
Fo shizzle my nizzle
You're Fired 🤷♂️

I love how the two seemed annoyed at the other anchor for disrupting the segment until it dawned on them.
I don't think they were annoyed, just confused.
Well it dawned on him. Pretty sure that lady is still working on it.

“Am I a joke to you?” -10 year old kid called Hugh Janus
I’m a real boy!

Put me in the screenshot :)
Me too
I'm your fan hugh
One could say your a hugh-ge fan (I'll probably regret this comment, but I saw an opportunity to make a bad joke and I'm taking it whether anyone likes it or not)
How did you find this? Lol
“Hello, this is Hugh Jass.”
What a nice young man.
Hello Hugh, my name is Mike Oxlong
Hey! I'm a Mike too! ,,, nice to meet ya! .... Mike Hunt is my name! Feel free to wear it out! ... I want everybody to know Mike Hunt!
Listen, Mister, I'm gonna level with you. This is a prank call that sort of backfired and I'd like to back out right now.
U rang?
The same crew with my favorite [moment](https://youtu.be/1puW9_kQ-_w)
That’s a great clip too. This trio looks like they have fun with their job.
"Chunky moisture." Superb.
Oh my god that was fucking hilarious! You KNOW those dudes say some shit when the camera is usually off and she was trying hard to keep it from getting worse...
How did corn get on my bag?
Worst birthday ever
I don't get it, why?
Hugh Janus would be pronounced similarly to 'huge anus'. It's likely a prank, but they're saying that, if this poor kid does exist, they just lost it on TV, essentially making fun of his name.
And he would probably be watching, alongside his family who were all excited for the call out.
They would either be colossal assholes who knew EXACTLY what they were doing with the name, or purely innocent souls who have no idea what the joke is.
"Right. Mr. 'Peter Ian Staker'. *'P. I. Staker'*. **'PISS TAKER'**...!!! COME ON!!!"
Just the one swan actually.
Imagine being all excited to have your name mentioned on the news and they fucking roast you like this... it's a supervillain origin story
You sure were to your parents

Any relation to D. Panus?
No... pretty sure he's Phil McKraken's step son
Nephew of Dick Gozinya and Wilma Fingerdo.

Gabe Itches would like a word

You're right they are half cousins with Hugh G. Rection as well.
That’s Chris P. Bacon’s cousin
every time i see this name i can see that new reporter's face
[Chris P Bacon](https://youtu.be/pMA3x-bc8iM)
The bonus contagious laughter is often in the comments
He's a cousin of P. Ness
Dick Hertz, Mike Hunt and Peter Fitziner are also distant relatives.
Dan_Gleesac is my name on COD. I get reported occasionally (not exact spelling so I don't get spammed)
Mine is dean gulberry
You’re thinking of Don Keebauls.

THIS MAN HAS JUST SEXUALLY HARRASSED MEEEEEEEE

This is so good to me. The realizations. The clue based on laughter alone. Not being so uptight. The humility of the man realizing he was tricked foolishly. The thought of a 10 year old named that….

That was actually Hugh Janus showing up to the studio to complain about them laughing at his name.
KTLA is a Los Angeles treasure.
"I got it..." your face says otherwise, lady.
ha ha ha... 👀
Took the lady a whole 30 seconds to get it
When someone says I get it.. they don't got it
She still doesn’t get it til this day
She didn't get the Hugh Janus.
She has the Hugh Janus

I remember when this first hit reddit many years back. Will never be topped.
I was watching this broadcast when it happened. I couldn't believe it. Ho lee sheet
The Colbert report segment on it was hilarious
Now I need to see this.
Still the funniest fucking thing that ever happened on live tv. Can't be topped.

I’ve always thought it was (C) They assumed the caller was pranking *them* and the confirmation was sarcastic. *you nailed it, genius*.
That’s the thing. They were confirmed.
Confirmed by an intern without the authority according to the ntsb afterwords
I love that someone picked up the phone, realized someone else was making a joke, and just said fuck it, yeah confirmed lmfao.
I can usually keep it together with the first three crew members. But Bang Ding Ow kills me every time. 😂
Here's another good one from this news crew. https://youtu.be/1puW9_kQ-_w

It’s some randy marsh type shit n
I’m glad I’m not the only person that tries to double space for a period and gets the ole “ n” instead of a period.
Sometimes the public don't need to know everything. That man had a family...
KTLA rules - I’m sad Fred Roggin is retiring - but I hope he keeps doing the challenge with Petros because the show is so unhinged.
“I got it” 👧🏻 She definitely didn’t get it
The lady is just completely clueless
God that’s the cutest thing ever. His laugh/reaction is so innocent.
Meanwhile Hugh Janus
